More on the Fredericksburg FOIA case

SW Virginia law blog reader Becky Dale offers her opinion here in the Richmond paper regarding the case argued last week before the Virginia Supreme Court whether city councilmen can swap e-mails without having a meeting.

I suppose that even if e-mails are out, IMs among the members of the board of a public body would be bad, because that would be more like a meeting via telecommunications, but then how many supervisors and councilmen sit around playing with IMs?
